make our laws friendly to food trucks!

Follow us on Twitter andFacebookfor information about food truck events and our efforts to change city laws.

We want more food trucks in New Orleans!

That won't happen with current city laws. The codes governing mobile vendors are out-dated and overly restrictive. Let's agree to change the laws, so that they encourage new business, benefit neighborhoods, and build the strength of our city's restaurant industry.

Make sure to tell us why you signed!

Food trucks are an important source of economic opportunity for entrepreneurs of all types. They can also enhance the culinary culture of our city, enliven streets, and provide food options in underserved areas---if we let them.

This petition is aimed at growing support for our cause in principle. With the petition in hand, we will work transparently to develop and negotiate specific changes to the city code.

Sincerely, The New Orleans Food Truck Coalition

Letter to

New Orleans

I just signed the following petition addressed to: The City of New Orleans.

----------------We want more food trucks in New Orleans! But that won't happen with current city laws. The codes governing mobile vendors are out-dated and overly restrictive. Let's agree to change the laws, so that they encourage new business, benefit neighborhoods, and build the strength of our city's restaurant industry.

Food trucks are an important source of economic opportunity for entrepreneurs of all types. They can also enhance the culinary culture of our city, enliven streets, and provide food options in underserved areas---if we let them. Currently, the out-of-date, poorly understood, and restrictive laws regulating food trucks prevent the practice from growing.

Join us in our effort to create a broad community coalition in support of reform. Not only are we working to improve unjust and inefficient laws, but we are sharing what we learn about advocating for change along the way. It is our hope that we can create a valuable resource for future efforts to make New Orleans a better place.

This petition is aimed at growing support for our cause in principle. With the petition in hand, we will work transparently to develop and negotiate specific changes to the city code.
